Funny how all of the motoring journalist experts dissagree with you.
Hilux hasn’t placed well in a comparo for years.
Hilux is mid in class at best and worst value in class by a long way.

Outdrives the Falcon? Not a chance. EVERY review, except Josh Dowling puts the Falcon as the better drivers car.

I will give you, that the engine sounds so much better now. You at least don’t need ear plugs to drown out the noise of rusty nails. The Alloytech didn’t get the name rattletech for nothing. Adding DI to it, still makes it a SUB-OPTIMAL design, but now with better technology.

This is why October’s figures are so high, it is the back log of orders from July, August and September.

Don’t forget that the largest purchaser for October was the rental group and then various Govco organisations. Yes the Investment allowance is helping but I would expect it to really have effect this month and Dec when the last minute panic buys come in.. for those of you sitting around waiting, word has it that the current period is the good ol days, cause it ain’t going to get any better to buy a car..

Thats so true, but generally when Holden start their add campaign as they have done with the SIDI commodore, they outsell everything else in the country by a mile. And people should be buying the commodore and not the Cruze. Although i agree the Cruze is goog value and has heaps of kit it just doesnt feel the smae. My uncle just bought a SV6 and i drove it over the weekend. he told me to give it a caning and it is just magnificent. While it may buck under brakes everything else is beautiful. while i admit the interior is horrific it still out drives the falcon by quite a bit, oh and the engine sounds so much nicer now.
